Upper Bucks Code Blue
Share
Providing emergency winter shelter and support for our unhoused neighbors in Upper Bucks County.
Greetings, everyone! Here’s our call for April 9-12, 2026:
After our rainy Easter and cooler start to Easter Week, we’ll see a significant moderation in our temperatures beginning Thursday, with high temperatures closer to seasonal average highs near 60° and lows Thursday in the mid-30s. Our temperatures then get even warmer to end the week, with highs in the upper 60s through the weekend and lows ranging from the upper 30s Saturday night to the upper 40s and possibly 50° Friday night. And blessedly, we’re not likely to see any precipitation through the weekend…
So our Code Blue Winter Emergency Shelter on the first floor of the Quakertown Masonic Lodge (501 W. Broad Street in Quakertown) will be CLOSED Thursday through Sunday nights, Apr. 9-12.

Greetings, everyone! Here’s our call for March 25-26, 2026:
We’ll be seeing a warming trend this Wednesday and Thursday, with cloudy skies Wednesday giving way to partly sunny skies Thursday and high temperatures rising from the mid-50s Wednesday to the upper 60s and perhaps even 70° on Thursday. Our low temperatures won’t get below 40° either night— but Thursday will be quite windy, and Thursday night into Friday morning will see some rain as well. Our weekend will be clearer but decidedly cooler; we’ll make our weekend Code Blue call as we get a little closer (and our data becomes clearer)…
In the meantime, our Code Blue Winter Emergency Shelter on the first floor of the Quakertown Masonic Lodge (501 W. Broad Street in Quakertown) will be CLOSED Wednesday and Thursday nights, Mar. 25-26.

Greetings, everyone! Here’s our call for March 23-24, 2026:
We probably won’t have too many more open nights left in our 2025-2026 Code Blue sheltering season, but we’ll probably have a few “borderline” nights before we’re done— and Monday night will be one of them. Sunday’s clouds and showers should give way to clearing skies Monday, with highs around 50°; but it’ll be quite windy as well, with wind gusts getting to 30 mph during the day and easily 20 mph at night, driving the wind chill down significantly. Tuesday will be sunny and a good deal calmer, with highs around 48° and lows right at freezing— not quite Code Blue cold. But given Monday’s winds and low nighttime wind chills (around 20°), we’ll lean toward being open Monday.
So our Code Blue Winter Emergency Shelter on the first floor of the Quakertown Masonic Lodge (501 W. Broad Street in Quakertown) will be OPEN Monday night, Mar. 23, with our doors open from 8:30-11:00 PM, but CLOSED Tuesday night, Mar. 24.

Greetings, everyone! Here’s our call for March 16-17, 2026:
Monday will be a warm day— our high will get into the mid-60s by dinnertime— but it’ll also be a rainy (~0.75”) and windy day, and we’re likely to see thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Once the sun goes down, our temperatures will drop like a brick from an airplane, with still very strong winds driving wind chills into the low teens. Tuesday’s high will barely get above freezing, with Tuesday’s low around 20° (so leprechauns will certainly freeze). Wednesday‘s skies will be clearer and calmer, and daytime temperatures could get to the upper 30s, but nighttime temperatures will be right around our Code Blue threshold. We’ll make a more certain call for Wednesday in another day or two; but in the meantime, our Code Blue Winter Emergency Shelter on the first floor of the Quakertown Masonic Lodge (501 W. Broad Street in Quakertown) will be OPEN Monday and Tuesday nights, Mar. 16-17, with our doors open from 8:30-11:00 PM.
